I believe it (the kernel on the root-fs that the UML guest OS
is using) is largly unused.  It does not represent the kernel
you are running in the UML guest.

The term 'host' seems to be used for the system running
directly on the hardware.  When you run './linux udb0=.....' that is
often called the guestOS.  When you log into the guest after running
'linux' and run 'uname -r' you'll see the version corresponding to that
'linux' executable you are running.
